Drugstore Finds...

Who else gets excited about being able to pick up false lashes, Coke Zero, liquid eyeliner, and toilet paper all under one roof?

...just me?

But seriously, I love drugstores. Most of my tried and true beauty staples can be found there.

So I figured I'd share some items I picked up during a recent trip to my local Walgreens. What began as a quick trip to pick up conditioner (major necessity), led to me walking out the door with some awesome beauty products I can't wait to try.

I feel like every time I see that L'Oreal liquid liner I think it might be great but when I tried it it was awful. I don't know if I should give it another shot. Could you do a mass eyeliner collection review video please Tiffany?

You need to learn how to shop at drugstores. Neutrogena, Maybelline, and Revlon always put out coupons for makeup and CVS/Walgreens run rewards programs. I get dirt cheap makeup all the time! I paid $.49 for Revlon Lipsticks last week and $.29 for their polish a couple weeks back. Check out I Heart WAGs and I heart CVS .com for deals!

I almost bough the Neutrogena foundation today..actually I think I will go back to WM and get it. I have been purchasing a lot of drugstore foundations to see which ones are good..and so far I have come down to 3 that are okay. I know you use the MUFE matte velvet and I haven't tried that yet but when I am near a Sephora that will be my next buy!

Well, not all drugstores are great. I mean, you really have to choose the best drugstore you can have for your stuffs like that so that you won't be sorry in picking fake stuffs from them. Wisconsin cosmetology schools' students had this problems once when we lived there cause they all have fake stuffs from drugstores.

I just went to the drugstore and found a replacement white kohl eyeliner instead of the loreal white eyeliner you put in this video. CVS has a buy one get one half off deal on rimmel products and there was a $1 off coupon in most Sunday newspapers a few weeks ago. So I got a brow pencil and the kohl eyeliner for $5 total. Thought I would share. :)

Question for you...Ok, whenever I'm at the drugstore or Target and I'm looking at the foundations, some of them have the pull out color matchers. You know, it says to hold it against your wrist or arm and the one that disappears into your skin is your match. Simple enough, right? Wrong. Usually the one that truly disappears is one of very lightest shades available. So thinking that shade is indeed my perfect match I buy it. And then when I actually put it on it's waaaaay too light and makes me look chalky and washed out. So how in the world do I pick a shade that matches my skin but doesn't wash me out? If you have any suggestions I'd definitely appreciate it! Thanks...I love your tutorials and reviews!
